Australian singer-songwriter Vance Joy was presented with a Platinum award plaque by Warner Music Canada for his debut album Dream Your Life Away. The presentation happened last night in Toronto before his second sold out show at Toronto’s legendary Massey Hall on The Fire And The Flood tour.

The lengthy North American winter tour has lead to sold-out concerts across Canada in Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Kelowna and back-to-back nights in Vancouver.  Vance Joy will play three concerts in Montreal beginning tonight, after which he will continue east across Quebec before arriving in Halifax for two more sold-out dates February 7 & 8. All shows have been supported by Canadian indie rock band Reuben And The Dark.

“Riptide”, the breakout single from the album, has been certified 4X Platinum in Canada, while the single “Mess Is Mine” has been certified Gold.
